Everyone schedules a pickup time when they place their order. This keeps wait times low since everyone is spaced out through the day. We know your time is important.
If you need food TODAY and it's a food bank day, simply drop by The Compass and fill in a form at the front door. We'd be happy to get you an order.
We follow Food Banks Canada guidelines for food distribution. We do not distribute expired product but occasionally offer food past the best before according to their guidelines. Some products like bread are also frozen to extend their life.
If it's the day before you want to order, check again later as times are automatically added when they run out. If it's same day, simply drop by to get a Standard Order.
Parking is on the streets or local parking lots around The Compass. Please do not park behind the building.
The Compass is a weekly food bank. You can place orders online, over the phone or in person for pickup once a week.
The Compass does not offer delivery. Once you have registered though you can elect to have a friend or family member pick up on your behalf. Food Banks Misssisauga does for clients who meet very specific criteria. You can learn more here.
We are more than a food bank, we also offer many client-directed services and programs.
